Motion Graphics • 7 • Montage • Valentine

2016 April 19 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

This video was compiled for a special friend on Valentine’s Day. The montage consists of photographs from the 1980’s. All the images were digitally restored in Adobe Photoshop. Any imperfections such as color, dust, scratches, damage, and composition were corrected to ensure the highest possible video quality. We even removed unwanted objects and people from the photographs to maintain the right focus.

Promotional Video Production

Would you like to commemorate a special event?
Do you want to honor someone special?
How about celebrate a special occasion with a video montage?

Input • Items To Get You Started

If you are interested in your own photo or video montage, then here are a few things to consider:

Images • Send us any digital images that you would like to include in your video. We recommend sending high resolution images above 5 mega pixels if possible.
Photographs • Normal prints can also be used. We offer a digital scanning service, and photo restoration of all your prints. You can send them to us by registered mail or courier, and we will return them to you by registered mail or courier. Details of our digital photo restoration services can be found here.
Videos • Clips from videos could also be used in the montage. Send over your video files (we prefer Dropbox), and specify the time-stamps (start and stop times) that you would like to include in the montage. We recommend high definition (1920×1080 pixels or 1280×720) for best results.
Messaging • Would you like each image to contain a message, speech bubble or tagline? Or maybe you would like us to suggest generic taglines for your photos?
Website • Is there a web address – or more than one – you would you like mentioned in the video? Let us know.
Names • Will your video be dedicated to a company, club, or association. Maybe it’s for a friend, partner or family member. We can include their details on the video if you want.
Tags • Do you want to use tags (metadata) to promote your video montage? These are important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), so that your video can be discovered on the internet. We also offer this as part of our service, if you need help in this area.
Hashtags • Do you want to use any popular #hashtags to promote your montage over social media? If you can’t think of any, we also offer this as part of our service.

Output • What We’ll Deliver to You

Theme • Talk to us about the theme you would like your video to use – For example, retro, modern, earthy, technological, animated, abstract, space, romantic, wedding, birthday, anniversary, movie trailer, night club, seasonal, etc.? You decide.
Type • 2D or 3D video? And would you like the video to loop – meaning that the beginning of the video and the end will match perfectly?
Length • The length of a montage video is typically one to four minutes. This typically depends on the number of images you have. Calculate at least three seconds for each image, and roughly a ten second intro, and ten second outro. That will give you a general idea of the timing. In the end, you decide how long you your video should be.
Format • Do you want an .mp4, .mkv, or .avi container? What about H.264, or H.265 encoding? Too technical for you? Don’t worry about that. We’ll make sure your video is compatible with the widest range of players.
Audio • Do you want background music? We can match the tempo and mood to the theme you choose.
Delivery • Your final video will be sent to you via Dropbox.
Turnaround • This depends on the project workload, complexity, and our available resources at the time of your request. Typically we deliver the video in six to sixteen working days.
Hosting • You could host your video on YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, or your own chosen hosting site. Then link the video to your website, social media page, or email correspondence.

Motion Graphics • 6 • Logo Reveal • Royal LePage

2016 April 5 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

In this promo video for a leading Canadian Real Estate company, we animated Royal LePage’s logo by taking their gate element into a video that pans in front of a beautiful mansion. We convey a feeling of wealth, success, and approachability. As the gates opens we spin to reveal their lead sales representative, Paul Thurlow and the corporate logo as well

Motion Graphics • 5 • Logo Reveal • Natural Landscaping Group

2016 March 29 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

https://youtu.be/ier3dJcj0nw&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

Here’s an exciting pair of videos we created for the Natural Landscaping Group. The intro and outro were both created in Cinema 4D and will serve as bookmarks to various promotional videos in their website and social media activities.

https://youtu.be/DH3jmEcEzRI&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

Promotional Video Production

We went with a metallic 3D look, revealing the logo as it emerges from a reflective floor. We also used a camera pan to partially circle, giving the video a nice cinematic effect. This transitions seamlessly to their 2D logo and fades to taglines, “Inspire Passion” and “Get Inspired”. In the outro we display their website “NaturalLandscapingGroup.com“, with slight spacing so it’s easier to read. The music adds an upbeat and motivational feel as they transition to and from the corporate videos.

Motion Graphics • 4 • Company Promo • DusilDesign.com

2016 March 22 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

This is a new company promotional video we created for dusildesign.com. Several images and videos were submitted as visuals, including landscape designs, photos, and on-site videos. Throughout the production process we agreed on the messages and taglines that highlight the unique expertise of Alica Dusil’s residential landscape design company.

https://youtu.be/_LX4cvzKmQ4&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

Promotional Video Production

In this project we decided to use traditional building materials as the backdrop: concrete, wood, and bricks. We animated the floral design elements to bring an artistic feel and represented the artistic creativity of the Alica”s company. Rain and droplets were were added to bring a garden and earthy feel, as the images are dropped into frame. This video highlights the beauty of professional landscape design and its creative artistry of form and function.

Motion Graphics • 3 • Logo Reveal • Outdoor Lifestyle Magazine

2016 March 15 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

https://youtu.be/y04CMR2FSaA&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

We’re proud to present our latest logo reveal for Canada’s Outdoor Lifestyle & Design Magazine, Outdoor Lifestyle.

https://youtu.be/9U1jJG_Wxgc&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

Promotional Video Production

We worked on the video design with the President of Natural Landscape Inc., Dave Maciulis C.L.D., and agreed on the overall look and feel. Dave wanted both an intro and outro, to bookend their video production initiatives. After receiving the Outdoor Lifestyle logo in Adobe Illustrator (.ai format), we separated the individual elements so they could extruded and animated separately. The logo fly-in establishes a dramatic effect as it settles into frame. We then fade to the company’s tagline and web address. The background music adds a sense of grace to the overall composition.

Motion Graphics • 2 • Logo Reveal • DusilDesign.com

2016 March 8 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

https://youtu.be/UILQEmtVxhg&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

This is our latest company promo project, prepared for dusildesign.com. In this project we created a looping video by animating the different elements of the Dusil Design logo. Throughout the year it will be used in exhibitions, on the company’s website, and on promotional materials emailed to clients. Future videos will also contain this logo segment as an outro.

https://youtu.be/fpkopKeGv18&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

Promotional Video Production

A vector version of the logo was not available when we began production, so the logo was recreated from scratch in Adobe After Effects. We managed to source the original font which helped maintain a high quality, since it avoided converting the bit-mapped text to a vector image. With all elements created – ring, disc, leaf, text and underline – we proceeded with the layout, animation, lighting, and timing. A 3D theme and metallic look for the ring created a suitable dramatic effect. Much of the production effort was spent experimenting with different ideas and seeing if it looked good after it was rendered. We delivered the draft to the owner Alica Dusil, and after receiving her feedback we had two more iterations before reaching this final product. We hope you like it.

Motion Graphics • 1 • Logo Reveal • Niagara Belco

Motion Graphics • 1 • Logo Reveal • Niagara Belco

2016 March 1 / Gabriel Dusil / 0 Comments

After six months of focusing on my private blog, gabrieldusil.com, we finally have exciting and new content for Generation Digital Video fans, here at dusil.com.

https://youtu.be/m18aBYO-wXs&autoplay=1&loop=1&showinfo=0

This is our first post in a series of motion graphics projects we’ve been working on since the middle of 2015. This first one is a logo reveal video created for our client in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We worked with the general manager, Derek Moorse, to create the conceptual outline, collaborating over Skype to design the look and feel of the promo. His elevator production company’s home page can be found at niagarabelco.com.

“Gabriel Dusil did an absolutely amazing job creating our logo reveal video. He captured how we wanted to look and feel. He asked a few intelligent questions when we first started the discussion, then before I thought he’d even be starting the work he was sending me drafts for review. I had no negative feedback, very impressive and a notch above our current marketing, and still he polished it up and improved it. Its a powerful tool, motion graphics. A must have for this day and age marketing. Thanks Gabriel, awesome work.”

• Derek Moorse, General Manager, Niagara Belco

Promotional Video Production

The concept behind this video encompassed a traditional elevator theme, with a clean and elegant approach. We obtained Niagara Belco’s logo in vector format (adobe illustrator .ai), then separated it into individual elements so that we could animate them individually.

I. Consumption is Personal

Broadcast providers had a relatively difficult task in understanding their audience, in the days of linear television. In the absence of the internet, adjusting to subscriber behavior was slow, in comparison to the real-time nature of internet video. Today online video providers have the ability to experience a one-to-one conversation with their audience. Viewing habits of consumers will continue to rapidly change in the next ten years. This will require accompanying changes in advertising expenditure. In the global nature of internet video, these online services will need to optimize accordingly to capitalize on these market opportunities.

II. Granularity of Choice

The evolution from traditional TV viewing to online video has been swift. This has significantly disrupted disc sales such as DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as cable and satellite TV subscriptions. With the newfound ability to consume content anytime, anywhere, and on any device, consumers are re-evaluating their spending patterns. In this paper we will discuss these changes in buying behavior, and identify the turning-point when all this started to accelerate.

III. Benchmarking the H.265 Video Experience

Transcoding large video libraries are a time consuming and expensive process. Maintaining consistency in video quality helps to ensure that storage costs and bandwidth is used efficiently. It is also important for video administrators to understand the types of devices receiving the video, so that subscribers are getting the most optimal viewing experience. This paper discusses the differences in quality in popular video codecs, including the recently ratified H.265 specification.

IV. Search & Discovery Is a Journey, not a Destination

Television subscribers have come a long way from the days of channel hopping. The arduous days of struggling to find something useful to watch is now securely behind us. As consumers look to the future, the ability to search for related interests and discover new interests is now established as common practice. This paper discusses the challenges that search and discovery engines face in refining their services, in order to serve a truly global audience.

V. Multiscreen Solutions for the Digital Generation

Broadcast, as a whole, is becoming less about big powerful hardware and more about software and services. As these players move to online video services, subscribers will benefit from the breadth of content they will provide to subscribers. As the world’s video content moves online, solution providers will contribute to the success of internet video deployments. Support for future technologies such as 4K video, advancements in behavioral analytics, and the accompanying processing and networking demands will follow. Migration to a multiscreen world requires thought leadership and forward-thinking partnerships, to help clients keep pace with the rapid march of technology. This paper explores the challenges that solution providers will face in assisting curators of content to address their subscriber’s needs and changing market demands.

VI. Building a Case for 4K, Ultra High Definition Video

Ultra High Definition technology (UHD), or 4K is the latest focus in the ecosystem of video consumption. For most consumers this technology is considered far from consumer reach, if at all necessary. In fact, 4K is right around the corner, and will creep into the mind-share of consumer wish-lists by the end of this decade. From movies filmed in 4K, to archive titles scanned in UHD, there is a library of content just waiting to be released. Furthermore, today’s infrastructure is converging to meet the demands of 4K, including internet bandwidth speeds, processing power, connectivity standards, and screen resolutions. This paper explores the next generation in video consumption and how 4K will stimulate the entertainment industry.

VII. Are You Ready For Social TV?

Social TV brings viewers to content via effective brand management and social networking. Users recommend content as they consume it – Consumers actively follow what others are watching – Trends drive viewers to subject matters of related interests. Integration of Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other social networks become a natural part of the program creation and engagement of the viewing community. Social networks create an environment where broadcasters have unlimited power to work with niche groups without geographic limits. The only limitations are those dictated by content owners and their associated content rights, and corporate culture preventing broadcasters from evolving to a New Media world.

VIII.-X. Turning Piratez into Consumers, I, II, III, IV, & V

Content Protection is a risk-to-cost balance. At the moment, the cost or piracy is low, the risk is low, and the enforcement is not ubiquitous. There is no silver bullet to solving piracy, but steps can be taken to reduce their levels to something more acceptable. It is untrue that everyone who pirated would refuse to buy a product legally. It is equally untrue that every pirated copy represented a lost sale at full download price. If the risk is too high, and the cost is low enough, then less people would pirate content. This paper explores how piracy has evolved over the past few decades, and discusses the issues around copyright infringement in the entertainment industry, and proposed steps to convert Piratez into consumers.
